Delaware River Report / Conditions September 8, 2019

Well the release from Cannonsville has been increased again.  It is 831 cfs this morning.  The flow on the lower West Branch is still climbing as the higher release makes it down river but we should level out by the afternoon.  We’re starting off cool again this morning at 50 degrees but should reach 70 by the afternoon.  Clouds and wind 5 -10 mph from the North.  That’s much better than the wind we dealt with yesterday.  There were olives and a surprising number of yellow sallies out yesterday but the wind did not help at all.  Nymphing was a decent bet but a few people found success on top.

 

And we're up again!

And we’re up again!
